Back Pain Relief at Ryan Chiropractic
Here at Ryan Chiropractic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating back pain to help our patients feel better and regain their quality of life. Chronic back pain is one of the most common health issues Americans face, affecting eight out of ten people at some point in their lives. Despite its prevalence, back pain can vary significantly in severity and origin.
Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can stem from a variety of conditions and injuries, each requiring a tailored approach to treatment. Some of the most common causes of back pain include:
- Sprained Ligaments: Overstretching or tearing of ligaments can cause acute back pain, often resulting from sudden movements or lifting heavy objects.
- Strained Muscles: Muscle strains from overuse, improper lifting techniques, or sudden movements can lead to significant discomfort and mobility issues.
- Trigger Points: These are sensitive areas within muscles that can cause referred pain in the back, often due to stress, poor posture, or repetitive movements.
- Arthritis: Conditions such as osteoarthritis can cause inflammation in the joints of the spine, leading to chronic pain and stiffness.
- Herniated Discs: Discs that have ruptured or slipped can compress nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the back and legs.
- Inflamed Joints: Joint inflammation, often due to conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, can cause persistent back pain and reduced mobility.
- Sports Injuries: High-impact sports or activities that strain the back muscles and ligaments can lead to acute or chronic back pain.
- Posture Issues: Poor posture while sitting, standing, or sleeping can lead to muscle imbalances and chronic back pain.
- Sciatica: Compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve can cause severe back pain that radiates down the legs.
- Scoliosis: An abnormal curvature of the spine can cause uneven stress on the back muscles and joints, leading to pain and discomfort.
- Pregnancy-related Pain: The added weight and hormonal changes during pregnancy can put extra strain on the back, causing pain and discomfort.
- Whiplash: Injuries from car accidents or sudden impacts can cause strain and injury to the muscles and ligaments in the back.
Understanding the specific cause of your back pain is crucial for effective treatment. Our experienced team at Ryan Chiropractic is dedicated to diagnosing and treating the root cause of your discomfort to provide lasting relief.
